This project is dedicated to Yogi the dog (2009-2021), who we wish to honor and remember
Yogi Yog I'm sad you're not here
You brought a lot of love into my life.
You taught me to accept love, your infinite love for me and the universe.
I learned from you how to return love.
I learned from you what responsibility is to whom I love.
I learned from you that love is not just smiles and "caresses", you can also be angry as well as furious, yet it will be love.
The lessons we learned together continue to resonate with me, they will stay with me forever.
To ensure this, I have chosen to commemorate you on my new surfboard.
Surfing is a bit like you, teaches me a lot about this life.
The union between you and the board makes me excited.
when you used to see the sea you ran into it, as like me.
I Dedicate this to you.
The infinite love as you taught me

I was trying to understand and visualize what Shachar had in mind.
You can sea how the illustration develop from a surfing dog into a portrait of Yogi with the sand hills in the background.
This place is his favorite spot for daily walks and here he is buried.
Sadly near the end he could barely walk but he keep on smiling.
